Adam Sandler is heading out of this world and starring as an astronaut in his new Netflix drama.
The 54-year-old actor, most recently seen in the critically-acclaimed Uncut Gems and Murder Mystery has signed on for a screen adaptation of Jaroslav Kalfar’s novel, The Spaceman of Bohemia.
Chernobyl’s Johan Renck will direct, while the script will be adapted by Colby Day.
The story follows an astronaut (Sandler) sent to the edge of the galaxy to collect mysterious ancient dust, but soon finds his earthly life falling to pieces.
He turns to the only voice who can help him try to put it back together – a creature from the beginning of time lurking in the shadows of his ship.

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
